A random piano composition by four cd players. Installation by Harco Rutgers.

One piano stroke per track, about 60 tracks (and some silences!) per cd. The four cd players are set to play random and repeat.

This video was shot at Uncollectibles, an exhibition in Kunstenlab Deventer.

Although the video can give you some idea of what this installation sounds like, it's still only a fragment and the sound quality is poor. In a live situation this installation never sounds exactly the same. Some pieces sound like a child playing, some pieces are completely silent and other pieces may accidentally sound like they are actually composed.

I personally find listening to Quatre Mains Aléatoire (live!) can be quite addictive... but others may experience boredom instead.
